It has been a ride, guys.
I am at a point in my life where I try to be content and enjoy more of the stuff that I have. I am so happy and relaxed that when a product is at the end, it is easier to let them go and make peace with myself.
Sometimes I get too attached with stuff and there has to be balance. No one is forcing us to keep products that we know are not gonna be useful anymore. In fact it is healthier to learn to let go when it is time.
This applies not only to all of my stuff but also with make up. Especially make up because I think cosmetics at some point has early expiration than most of the stuff that we have like clothes and bags which might actually stay in our closet much longer than we thought of.
Now in 2023 I am ready for a new beginning. In with the new, out with the old.
These are the items that are going and I can definitely say, it’s been great.
I had a great time with these products for some time and most of these I actually got to keep for years, guys. So you can just imagine the attachment and nostalgia because I know I cannot continue using them anymore.
May I present with you the products that is included in my declutter year 2022:
- Bella Oggi Italia Cover Me Concealer in 02 light – This I didn’t purchase, my dad gave it to me. It is too light but I tried my best to be able to use it so apply it together with my Maybelline Instant Anti age concealer. This is too drying in my opinion. Whenever I use it on my undereyes, lines are showing a lot. I used it often more than I should because the formula si the best. It is half used and I will just let it go.
- Wet n Wild photofocus concealer in Medium Tawny- this is actually not bad. again the shade is not on point as it is darker than my skintone. But I think this is getting old so I am just gonna let it go. It is also given to me by my dad. I hate the smell too. It reminds me of the foundation Photofocus, Very chemical scent. I have used this enough and I think I am just gonna declutter this. I am not mad at all but I am not that impress either.
- L’oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation in 140 Golden Beige- This is an incredible foundation. The finish is amazing. Even though I have oily skin it actually stays for a long time. It looks fresh the way the name suggests. But this is also getting old. I haven’t used it very often as I have been trying to finish my other foundations. I actually saw the oil separating so I just have to let this go.
- Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo Orgasm and Laguna- I mainly bought this to be able to try NARS formula. And I don’t regret it. These two products were the only blush and bronzer that I used for the longest time so I guess I just want to change and I already hit pan on both!
- MAC Mineralize Skin finish in Soft & Gentle- this has been in my kit even before I used it for myself so I guess it is time to change my highlighter. I loved this using for other people but I rarely used it for myself as it is too glittery for me.
- Kevin Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium- the best contour powder I have ever tried and I don’t think I would try the others. It is kinda old I wish I have used this more than I should. I think mold is starting to form on the pan so I had to repurchase this! I already have a back up!
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging- this is practically an empty more than a declutter. I am not really impressed with this but I am just glad I have finished this up. I am not gonna continue to scrape the product. I am just gonna call it quits
- NYX Glitter Primer- this was also in my kit back then so I need to let this go. I used this for a few months after I have finished the Urban decay primer although it is a glitter primer.
- NARS Climax in Explicit Black- I need to change my mascara, guys. This is not even a good one. I am so glad I didn’t buy the full size. The formula is not good.
- MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash – one of the best mascaras I have ever tried. I got one in the past that I kept in my kit. Amazing formula, amazing wand and it is so embarassing to say that I kept it for a year! Don’t do that guys!
- Prep Lip Balm Aloe Vera- this is also an empty and ofcourse this will go straight to the trash. I am not very particular into lipbalms just as long as it moisturizes my lips then I am good.
- Flormar Supershine Lip Gloss in Bronze Statue- I think this gloss is ok. I liked it. but it is old and i don’t use it that much anymore. I will be honest, I am not into lipglosses that is why I have owned very few.
I highly recommend decluttering. It is really a good feeling guys. Nothing is constant and we need to change as much as we can. Especially in cosmetics because we do apply this on our skin. Just be mindful and I encourage everyone to declutter stuff that you think doesn’t add value in your life anymore…
Thank you so much for reading. Thank you for being here! Thank you for an amazing 2022! Guys, I just want to let you all know, I appreciate you!
Happy New Year! I hope you all have a blast this 2023! Stay healthy, stay happy and stay beautiful just the way you are!
Always, Karen
